This National Science Foundation project grant of $1,351,347 awarded on August 1, 2022 will fund the Computing Research Association Inc. to deliver mentoring and coaching services to recipients of NSF Computer and Information Science and Engineering Graduate Research Fellowships. The grant is part of the Computer and Information Science and Engineering program (CFDA 47.070), which supports research and education in all areas of computing.
Specifically, the grantee will expand an existing pilot mentoring program for recent computer science graduates returning to graduate school. Working with sub-awardees at the University of Delaware, Purdue University, and Williams College, the grantee will provide group and individualized mentoring on navigating the graduate school admissions process and supporting students' transitions into first-year PhD programs. The overall goals are to increase retention in computer and information science PhD programs and inform efforts to grow domestic PhD production in these fields.
